Teachers union wants co-op properties returned...

Primary teachers’ union Poed said on Thursday it was taking legal measures to have the real-state owned and managed by its cooperative savings fund, which fell to government hands after the demise of the Central Cooperative Bank (CCB), returned to them.

The union, along with secondary teachers’ Oelmek and Oltek said this week that all assets of the primary and secondary teachers’ cooperative savings funds had been unlawfully seized by the state after the closing down of the CCB.
